Thanks for all your help and there is another question at the end if anyone might be able to answer it...I appreciate it.

So far everyone who has responded has said the same thing...skin contact is not a factor and many people use all sorts of glues-no effects.

However, the reason for my asking is that I am severely affected by skin contact.  I have very carefully tested to make sure it was not in my head or that I was being contaminated in another manner.  Cakes and breads seem to be the ones I have the worse reactions.  I have worn plastic gloves and uncoated rubber gloves.  I had not had problems until I served the cakes.  I even washed my hands every chance I got.  Kept my hands from my face, eyes, and mouth.  I didn't not touch any part of my body until my hands were washed with hot soap and water.  Still I got contaminated.
I have reactions as if I have ingested.  I have had RN's tell me that if other things can be absorbed into the skin it would stand to reason that gluten could and they did not believe that it would not be absorbed.  Their responses were that often times doctors have been wrong and they believed this is most likely one of them.  If I have a reaction to stop doing that which causes the reaction and see.  If I don't handle breads and cakes, there is no reaction.
Once again..."Everyone" who responded stated that they used the glues all the time and do not have trouble.  
Therefore, I would like to ask another question...
Could it possibly be that breads and cakes send off airborne gluten where the glue is wet and therefore we are not absorbing it?  If wall paper glue can bleed through the paper and out into the air...could the breads and cakes be doing the same thing???
I will post the summary to this response also.
